    CCA6020F-D5FD-46F9-9434-CBCB17832B39.jpeg I’ve just come across these behind an old shed. Thinking Kniphofia or Asphodeline lutea?

    Any thoughts would be very welcome.

        If it was a bit dark down behind the shed it could be a drawn yucca filamentosa.

        Thanks guys! The rhizomes were more orange than the picture makes out, defo not a yucca. I thought maybe a yucca but leaves are smooth and floppy mostly, there is also a ‘limp’ yucca which has a hoppy smell to it when cut open but these don’t. I’ll have to play the waiting game. I’ve moved them to a sunny patch and will see what happens with them. Thanks all
